Plone is a good CMS, and if it works well for the documentation team, then it makes sense to 
continue using it. However, I know the focus of the OOoAuthors project has been to produce PDFs and 
printed books, but there is a good reason to also work on thorough, online, HTML documentation for 
LibO in the future. (We do have the documentation wiki already: 
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/ )

If you're interested in online Drupal documentation, the best example I can recommend is the Drupal 
site's documentation itself: http://drupal.org/documentation

Both in terms of workflow and final output, it meets the needs I think we have for LibO. From a 
user perspective, hosting it at an easy URL like "libreoffice.org/documentation" would be very 
important, and thus it should be integrated into our core CMS.
